I'd like to tell you about a new feature on our website, a brief history of each former North Carolina Governor since 1776. Click here to read up on the 66 men that held the Governor’s Office prior to Bev Perdue.
Thank you to the Department of Cultural Resources and in particular historian Michael Hill for putting this together. You can read even more about each former governor in Michael Hill’s book, “The Governor’s of North Carolina.”
The stories of our former governors are just the latest incarnation of a partnership between the Governor’s Office and the Department of Cultural Resources to highlight the history and culture of our great state on the web. Previously, we created interactive websites on the State Capitol and the Executive Mansion and there is more to come.
